Known best as manufacturers of the Isetta bubble car. Iso later
became bona-fide supercar constructors in 1962 with the launch of
the Giotto Bizzarrini-designed Rivolta coupé at the Turin Motor
Show. The styling was carried out at Carrozzeria Bertone and penned
by Giorgetto Giugiaro. the power came from a 5. 4 litre Chevrolet
V8. The four-door Fidia. longer in wheelbase by approximately
150mm. was a more practical proposition than the two-door Rivolta
on which it was based. Originally conceived as the S4 and
introduced in 1967. the Fidia's four-door body was airy. graceful. br/>purposeful and sleek. continuing Iso's leadership in advancing
automobile design. The 5. 4 litre Chevrolet engine was fitted
initially but towards the end of production. it was swapped for the
5. 8-litre. Ford V8 engine. Iso's proven underpinnings included
independent front suspension. deDion rear axle and four wheel. br/>power-assisted. disc brakes. In total. 192 Fidias were
produced and it is believed that in all only 16 were righthand
drive (the first being sold to John Lennon in 1967). of which two
were S4's and seven were Ford powered.

This rare righthand drive car fitted with the Ford power unit
has been owned by the same family since 1979. It was used often
before being put into the family garage in the mid-1980s where it
has rested ever since; there is an MoT test certificate from 1984
which is believed to be the last. It should be noted that. although
for the first few years the engine was started and run
occasionally. it has not moved now for about 15 years although the
vendors inform us that the engine has not seized. They also assure
us the car is complete and it comes supplied with a V5C
registration certificate. This is a unique opportunity to restore a
rare example of what was once one of the fastest four-door saloons
in the world. A powerful American V8. wrapped up in a
gorgeous Italian styled body; what more could one
desire?
